Virgin Killer is an album by the German Hard rock band Scorpions, released in 1977. It had a controversial cover showing a naked prepubescent girl. Later pressings of the album had an alternate cover showing a group shot of the band. Band member Klaus Meine acknowledged that he was shocked when he saw the original album cover, but was pressed by the record company to do something controversial[citation needed].
